Yukon Strong Business Investment Grant, the city’s first

Approved the inaugural Yukon Strong Business Investment Grant on June 30, 2026, awarding $62,000 to 17 locally owned businesses selected from 32 applicants, up to $5,000 each. Funds were paid out July 2, 2026. Recipients included Wings & Things, Green Chile Kitchen, Vacca Coffeehouse, Archery Traditions, Bad Brad's BBQ, Vladislava's Bakery, and Wild Birds Unlimited. The program is funded entirely from Hotel/Motel Tax revenue — paid by visitors staying in Yukon hotels — not general resident taxes.

What it means: The city’s first small-business grant program — $62,000 to 17 local businesses, funded by visitors, not residents.
